Reminder that Marx's criticism is not actually "immanent", that's just garbage pushed by philosophy nerds. You don't need all that immanence crap to make a point. It's just pretentious ideology made to sound profound, projected onto Marx by critical theory clowns trying to impose a purely epistemological framework onto the object of study.

It is entirely possible to analyze a system objectively and recognize how it operates according to the interests of the system. Concepts like "dialectical thinking" are pleonasm. If you're thinking correctly, you're already thinking dialectically by default to explain, not to mystify; to clarify relations, not to invent essences; to use logic, not to absolutize it.

Your own image is refuting what you're whining about.

The people bastardizing dialectics are Stalinoids who follow his and Mao's bastardizations and start talking about "dialectically" shitting their pants and what-not. The "critical theorists" you're bitching about, and I assume it's Adorno, are using it correctly in books like The Dialectic of Enlightenment. They're using it exactly as Engels is describing it in your quote. You don't have to dig through thousands of texts to understand historical materialism does some of the "immanent critique" you're dialectically shitting your pants about. Imagine the logic jumps you'd have to take to ignore Marx's criticisms of liberalism, which contrary to redditor idealogues, wasn't just in his early manuscripts but also persisted all the way into Capital with all the notes it's filled with.

I get you're doing the I HATE DA INTELLECTUALZ act but focus your rage on the right people. Also, don't even try to come at me with some philosopher that said something stupid like I'm defending every philosopher or cultural critic that has ever lived, that's ridiculous.
